There is no kind of exercise that has
more uniformly met the appreciation of
suthors in general than running. In
the Middle Ages foot-racing was con-
sidered as an essential part of a young
mans education, especially if he was
the son of IL man of rank, and brought
up to a military profession. 1t is need
less to assert the antiquity of this pas
time, because it will readily occur to
every one that variety of occasions con-
tinually present themselves which call
forth the exertion of running even in
childhood, and, when more than one
person are stimulated by the same OBJ
ject, competition naturally takes
place among them to obtain it,
Originally, perhaps, fcot-races had
no other Indictment than emulation. or
at best the prospect of some small re-
ward; but, in the process of time, the
rewards were magniiied, and contests
of this kind were instituted at public
amusements, the ground marked out
for that purpose, and judges appointed
to decide upon the fairness of the race.
to ascertain the winner, and to bcstow
the reward. In former times, accord
ing to Commenius, it was customary
for the places appropriated to foot
races to be rallied in on either side. and
the prize giver stood at the goal to de-
liver the reward to the person who
should first touch it. He probably
means at the Olympic game, among
which foot-racing was one.
In the present day, neither in this
country nor abroad, are foot-races
much encouraged by persons of for
tune. and seldom happen but for the
purpose of betting, and the racers are
generally paid for their performance.
In many instances the distance does not
not exceed one hundred yards. Affairs,
and upon many other occasions where
many people are assembled together,
| this species of amusement is sometimes
promoted. but most frequently the con-
test is confined to the younger part of
the concourse.
Two centuries back, running, accord
ing to Peacham, was thought to be an
exercise by no means derogatory to the
rank of nobility: and poetical writer
in the celebrated Cotton manuscript,
written early in the fifteenth century.
recommends it strongly to the practice
